CONWAY — When people think of “social workers” they may think of someone who provides talk therapy, who connects clients with community resources or who might help create a treatment plan.
Social workers do this and more, especially when they are part of an interdisciplinary team like the one at Visiting Nurse Home Care and Hospice of Carroll County and Western Maine. VNHCH routinely provides social work as part of their palliative care and hospice services, at great benefit to their clients, families and caregivers. With March as National Social Work Month, this month VNHCH asked their clinical social worker Rachel Vose, LICSW, to share her insights into her profession.
